Here is an example of a typical day staying and skiing with Fernie Wilderness Adventures.

8.00 am

Arrival at the Lodge (Pick-ups available) we have a cozy fireplace and bathroom facilities.
After a short talk on the day’s proceedings and a safety briefing regarding snowcat procedures, we load up the snowcat and head out into the backcountry.

 

9.15am - 9.45am

You step out of the snowcat after ascending up the mountain and our guides begin a quick orientation to ensure your  comfort with our safety procedures and equipment. You will be at 6,500 feet altitude, clicking into your bindings for the first run of the day.

 

9:50 am

A cool mountain breeze brushes against your face as you stare down the mountain at the lead guide drifting effortlessly through the deep powder. Your hands feel shaky and your heart is pounding so hard your worried others can hear it. You breafly imagine your poor coworkers answering emails, stuck in an office as you are visually engulfed from Canada’s purest beauty.
You take a deep breath and push yourself forward.. Bliss.

Repeat 9:50am

 

11:50 am

12:50 pm

Repeat 9:50am

 

1:50 pm

Repeat 9:50am

 

2:50 pm

Repeat 9:50am

 

3.50pm - 4:30pm

The end of your day depends more on the energy level of the group, snow and weather conditions etc, than what time it is.

 

5.00pm

You return to our Base Lodge and re-live the day checking out all the photos from the day, have a personalized FWA brand beer and chat with your new friends.
 

5.30pm

An indulgent dinner will be served for our guests that choose to stay at the lodge with us. Maybe a drink around the fire pit is in order or a dip in the wood fire burning hot tub to relax those tense back muscles. If your lucky enough you will get to repeat this day all over again tomorrow.
